Question 139376: Describe two laws of exponents and provide an example illustrating each law. Explain how to simplify your expression. How do the laws work with rational (fractional) exponents? Provide the class with a third expression to simplify that includes rational (fractional) exponents.
The two laws I came up with are;
(ab)^m= a^mb^m = To raise a product to a power, we can raise each factor to the power.
a^m � a^n = a^m+n = In multiplying, we can add exponents if the bases are the same.
I do not know how to do the rest.

Rational exponents work the exact same way. In other words, the same two laws of exponents work the same way if m and n are rational rather than integers. In fact, the same laws of exponents apply if m and n are any real numbers, rational or irrational.

To provide examples, pick numbers for a, b, m, and n and then illustrate each principle. Remember that when you are illustrating rational exponents.
